Hotel de la Poste, Verbier, Switzerland

First visit to this resort having done about 15 other alpine resorts over the past 20 years or so. The itineries (unpisted but marked runs) are needed to get you to other areas but can be very tricky in places and no turning back! We felt apri-ski could have been better - plenty of bars but mostly selling pricey Carlsberg who seemed to have a bit of a monopoly there, and didn't really have the fun factor that exists in Austrian resorts, but much better than most French ones. Main gripe was whilst a massive skiing area it is extremely difficult to access. They call it the 4 valleys - well you can see the ski areas on the other side of the valleys but can't always get to them! Needs a couple of extra cable cars! Nevertheless, still a great week, but plenty of other resorts to try before inclined to return to Verbier. Hotel de La Poste though was excellent!
